This paper uses a semi-parametric empirical model to estimate the economic benefitsof adopting a property rights-based management program in the Gulf of Mexico grouperfishery. The analysis predicts that a rights-based fleet will be comprised of fewer, morecost efficient boats than under the...

This paper studies equilibrium search and learning in a dynamic shing gamethat is played by independent shermen and by members of an information sharingCooperative. Once collected, information about the location of productive sh-ing sites is an excludable public good. We show that independent...

Models of fishing behavior rarely incorporate the complexities of marine ecosystems,multiple-stock harvest technologies, and regulations present in real world marinefisheries. We introduce a structural model of a multi-species, weak-output-disposabilityharvest technology. A latent...

This paper estimates a structural model of multiple-species harvesting costs in the easternGulf of Mexico reef fish fishery. The calibrated model is used to predict fleet size, vessellevelharvesting activity and fleet-wide revenues and costs that are expected under a proposedindividual fishing...

This paper considers the problem of multi-species fisheries managementwhen targeting individual species is costly and at-sea discards of fish by fishermenare unobserved by the regulator. Stock conditions, ecosystem interaction, technologicalspecification, and relative prices under which at sea...

This paper analyses the effects of discretionary fiscal policy by presenting new empiricalevidence for Germany within a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) framework. FollowingBlanchard and Perotti (2002), the SVAR model is identified by applying institutionalinformation. We find no...

We investigate to what extent convergence in production levels per worker has beenachieved in Germany since unification. To this end, we model the distributionof GDP per employee across German districts using two-component normal mixtures.While in the first year after unification, the two...
